Record mode (Still) display
 |

|
This is an example of some of the settings which are displayed over the live preview image on the LCD, in this example we can see: Flash Canceled, Macro, Sharpening enabled, Image size 2048, 2
frames taken and available Memory Stick space. |
Half-pressing the shutter release button causes the camera to focus and calculate exposure once it's done so a steady green "focus/AE lock" dot appears as can be seen in this image. |
 |
 |
|
After a full-press of the shutter release a review of the final
shot is displayed along with the RECORDING message, you can't interrupt
this process nor use the camera until the image has been written
out. |
In this example we've got the "pop-up"
menu displayed over the preview image, this can be displayed or hidden
at any stage by pushing up or down on the 4-way controller. |
 |
|
|
In record mode it is possible to get an immediate review of images
taken without turning the mode dial to "Play", with the
menu bar hidden simply press the 4-way controller to the left, the
last image shot will be displayed along with the option to delete
the image. |
Play display
Switching to Play mode loads and displays the last image shot, there is a delay whilst the image is loaded from the Memory Stick.

This image is a sample of the display when switching to Play mode. Detailed overlaid is: • Image Size |
Pressing the DISPLAY button removes any overlaid information and leaves the plain image (useful for single image shows). |

Pushing the zoom lever towards Tele zooms in, starting at 1.1x
in 0.1x steps up to a maximum zoom of 5.0x. Holding the Tele button
down to zoom in completely (5.0x) takes 6.3 seconds. |

|
Selecting INDEX from the play menu displays 3 x 2 thumbnails, in
this mode we can perform selective deletion from the menu, marking
images individually for deletion. |

|
When a movie is selected it's displayed in its small forum with
a play button available from the pop-up menu. Playback of a movie
includes audio (the S70 has a speaker). |
One other playback feature is the ability to rotate
images in 90 degree increments, typically this isn't necessary as
the S70 has a sensor which automatically detects the orientation of
the camera (unfortunately final images will still need rotating when
displayed on a PC). |
